Custom WordPress plugin development
Need a plugin that doesn’t exist yet? I’ll build it.
I write custom WordPress plugins that do exactly what your business needs — no workarounds, no stack of half-fitting add-ons, no bloat. Every line is written by me, the same person who spends his days cleaning up the damage badly built plugins leave behind. And what I build for you stays yours alone.
Off-the-shelf plugins get you most of the way. I build the rest.
You’ve probably tried it already: install a plugin, then another to patch what the first one can’t do, then a third to glue them together. The site gets slower, every update is a gamble, and it still doesn’t work the way your business does.
A custom plugin flips that around. It’s built around your workflow, does only what you need, and has nothing in it you don’t understand. One clean plugin often replaces three or four bloated ones — and your site is faster and safer for it.
What I build
Booking & registration
Reservations, registrations, deposits and pricing calculators — built around how you actually take bookings, not how a generic plugin assumes you do.
Staff scheduling
Rosters, availability, shift and session assignments, and reminders — so your team always knows who’s where, and when.
Customer tools
Client portals, intake forms, self-service booking changes and account pages your customers will actually use.
Integrations
Connect WordPress to your CRM, payment processor, email platform, spreadsheets or any outside API.
Admin tools & automation
Dashboards, bulk editors, imports, scheduled jobs — the tedious tasks your team does by hand, done for them.
Fixes for plugins that almost work
An abandoned plugin, a broken update, a booking or pricing form that miscalculates. I extend it, repair it or replace it cleanly.
AI features
Chatbots, content helpers and AI workflows wired properly into your site. More on AI systems.
Lean replacements
Swap a pile of heavy plugins for one small, fast one that does just the job you need.
Taking live bookings? I protect them.
If customers are booking and paying on your site right now, the last thing you need is a “fix” that quietly breaks checkout in the middle of your busy season. Before I build anything new, I can review what you already run:
- Security — every plugin checked for known vulnerabilities, abandoned code and risky settings.
- Booking & pricing forms — calculations, totals and confirmations tested end to end, so customers are charged exactly what they should be.
- Speed & stability — slow pages, plugin conflicts and update risks found before they cost you a reservation.
Changes are tested before they reach your live site, and timed so bookings keep flowing while the work gets done.
Your idea stays yours. Always.
Some clients worry that a developer will take the plugin built for them and sell it to a competitor, or recycle it into the next client’s project. I don’t do that. Ever.
- Never resold. A plugin or app I build for you is never packaged, sold or licensed to anyone else.
- Never reused. Your custom code isn’t recycled into other clients’ projects.
- Kept private. Your idea, your business details and your site access stay confidential — never shared, never published, never shown off without your permission.
The free plugins in the column alongside are ones I wrote for my own use and chose to give away. Work you pay for is never one of them.
Why have a security specialist write your plugin?
Cleaning hacked websites is my day job, and a huge number of the break-ins I trace start with a poorly written plugin. I see the same mistakes again and again — so I write code that doesn’t make them.
- Locked down by default — permission checks, nonces, sanitized input, escaped output and safe database queries on every screen.
- No tracking, no phoning home — your plugin talks to nothing you didn’t ask for.
- Fast and light — it loads only where it’s needed and never slows the rest of your site.
- Built to survive updates — written the WordPress way, so core and theme updates don’t break it.
How it works
- Tell me what you need in plain English — no technical spec required.
- I reply with a clear quote and a plan before any work starts. No obligation.
- I build and test it before it ever touches your live site.
- I install it and walk you through it, and I’m here afterwards if you want changes.
One person, start to finish
